Can not restart tests from pdb

[akarl]

When running with --pdb py.test can not be restarted with the restart command.

This is the test file:

# test.py
def test_this():
    assert False

This is the output:

$ py.test --version
This is pytest version 2.7.2, imported from [...]/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytest.pyc
$ py.test test.py --pdb
[...]
test.py:3: AssertionError

its not clear how to solve that - since restart in pdb is meant for python -m pdb

py.test does not do that kind of post-mortem and restart

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

is there any more feedback, else i#ll close this one as unsolvable due to lack of detail

[akarl]

You can close it, unless it's a feature someone else than me would like to have?

Would be really nice to be able to restart the test from within pdb directly.

Problem occures with selenium and py.test -> you insert breakpoint (e.g. 'assert 0') -> test go in pdb mode -> you inspect code -> want to continue ('continue' command) -> test fail to continue with "== 1 failed in XYS seconds"
